    10 meter is very quiet?

    I'm looking forward to Saturday. I have it free and I will be bouncing between 10 and 11m on my mobile at the lake all day here in the PNW!

    New Anytone 6666+

    Dang, I was hoping for the detachable face and less menu driven stuff. What a great radio though.

    Yaesu FT1000D 11m Mod

    OK, adding photos of my Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark V Field's mod. The first is the whole circuit board, followed by the resistor in its original spot and the 2nd where you need to move it. After you do this you have to get into menu 9-9 and move from USA to "general". Then you're done

    Well, I picked up two nice MC-60 Kenwood mics under the impression they'd work on my Yaesu. THEY DON'T!! hahaha Anyone explain where to find a good rewire chart? Thanks!!!

    K40 antenna

    Ah the good old days

    My Smokey & the Bandit wanna be 1978 Z/28 in 1997. Conditions were great that year as you can see on my 148GTL is on 38LSB. I worked Hawaii from my car in Seattle, WA!

    Anyone 6666 not keying up

    It's been hooked up the same way since new, same antenna, same power. The antenna has been used to work half the world so I'm sure that is OK!

    Anyone 6666 not keying up

    It is straight to my car battery and it powers my Yaesu FT-840 just fine?

    Anyone 6666 not keying up

    It was a brand new out of the bag stock mic. I'll take this sucker apart and take a look at that mic trace. It is at least 6 years old now! Thank you for the tip, Eldorado! (Terminus Eldorado by Ted Nugent now in my brain).

    Anyone 6666 not keying up

    So my good ol' Quad 6 has stopped working. When I key up, it looks like I'm keying and unkeying rapidly, about twice a second. Chunk chunk chunk chunk. It is unmodified and I've tried a brand new mic and it didn't change things. I've reset it via the software. Any ideas?

    Reclaim LSB 16

    Be warned, if you check in on a modern radio you'll get harped at! hahaha but they're all good guys!

    Ah the good old days

    This isn't CB related but I bought my first shortwave radio from Radio Shack. It was a DX-375 and had no sideband and only tuned in 5kHz steps but it was what I could afford. It was $99 and it is what got me bit by the radio bug way back in 1992. I moved on to bigger and better things but even...
